MSHome Network and cable?Hello,
Two units with WindowsXP Home SP2 all security updates. 56k modem connection. Both have NIC's and are connected with a crossover cable. Using MSHome Network, sharing files and printers. Plan on aquiring a cable connection, thru local cable company. Will purchase a cable modem and a router. Wire connection. I would like to have both units communicating with each other and online. After removing the crossover cable will the "MSHome Network" setup need to be removed befroe installing the cable modem? Are there any sites that have tutorials on cable modem, router setup and file/printer sharing? Thank You. Take Care. beamish. In article <CF17BACD-DF4D-4350-8306-7FC10B7A9***@microsoft.com>,

If you've assigned static IP addresses to the computers, re-configure them to obtain an IP address automatically from the router. Connect the cable modem to the router's WAN or Internet port. Connect the computers to the router's LAN ports. If the computers have firewall programs, configure the firewalls to allow file/printer sharing on the LAN. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
